Task | 10.4: Thin Films |
Abstract | Bulk niobium cavities have almost reached their maximum performances. Maximum accelerating gradient field is above 35-40 MV/m for a multi-cells cavity at 1.8 Kelvin and it achieves 25-30 MV/m with high reliability. The question of increasing the accelerating gradient in a significant way is running regarding the huge amount of units required for new projects (16000 units for ILC). A promising solution is to use thin films of new materials deposited on copper or niobium. In order to investigate the behaviour of these materials for the accelerating cavities, we have developed a dedicated setup based on thermometric method and a TE011 cavity. We present here the design study of the setup and the expected sensitivity of the method for the surface measurement of materials properties under RF fields. |
